Designing for High Performance | Frame to Finish - Episode 1

Frame to Finish, a Build Original Series®, follows the design and construction of a high-performance home that will also be the Build Show LIVE 2026 job site tour. Hosts Matt Risinger, Tim Hill, and architect/builder Jim Gunn focus on the critical role of pre-planning and design, emphasizing that performance, durability, and comfort must be built in from the very beginning.

In this episode, Matt and Tim introduce the Build HD Standard, a framework that defines the high-performance elements that Risinger Build integrates into their homes and how they improve upon basic code requirements to build homes that last. The guys utilize the Build HD Standard while discussing early design decisions, and Jim demonstrates how initial concepts evolve from rough sketches to 3D modeling and detailed plans.

Ultimately, Matt, Tim, and Jim emphasize that great building starts with a disciplined design process: aligning architecture, engineering, and construction from day one to avoid costly mistakes and deliver a healthier, more durable home.

Follow along as we transform an empty lot in the Texas Hill Country and grab your VIP Experience pass for Build Show LIVE 2026 to see the house (right before it’s dried in) and learn more from the Build Experts™.
